Hi

This actually happens on an alpha,  but I would think the problem will be 
the same.

We have an alpha that uses tar for it's backup.  We do a 'tar tv' to 
verify the backup.   Over the last month we have been getting errors in 
the log.  Below is an example of one of the errors.  This error happened 
to be about one line,  but the errors can be very large.  Dump does not 
give any such errors.

Any suggestions as to why this is happening will be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Jase.
